It's not that I'm cold
That I'm heartless
Or ignorant.

For one thing,
My passion for life
Burns bright enough to warm
My whole being,
My mind and soul.

For another,
I am heartless
Because a certain someone
Ran off with it
Yet I still care
For certain things

And lastly,
I'm not ignorant
At least, not fully.

I just selectively ignore
Those who are not worth more
Than a warning

So here's one:
Back off

Kinda works for me
I feel better about myself
Actually
It's so weird
I feel good enough to do anything
I really appreciate
The art of being single
I have more self respect
Since he broke it off
I don't have to live
For two people now
I only must
Please myself

These bright minds,
reaching further
and further
into space

As if there aren’t enough
problems
down below

Maybe they’re simply trying
to get away,
just like the rest of us

here we go again
the getting-to-know-each-other part
the trusting part
the infidelity part
the breaking-of-hearts part
and the i-will-never-trust-anyone-again part
